WATERBURY — If the city gets its way, the Office of Health Care Access will reject New Era Rehabilitation Center's plan to open a methadone clinic at 447 Meriden Road.

While opponents' main concern is the proposed location, which is near Chase Elementary School, the city is raising other objections. The city is expected to oppose New Era's application at a hearing, which was originally scheduled for Thursday but was postponed at the request of New Era's attorney.
